Your Guide to a Healthier, More Confident Smile with Braces
At Wiktorski Orthodontics, everyone in our Rochester community deserves a smile they can feel proud of. For many of our neighbors in Webster, Penfield, and beyond, traditional braces are the perfect first step on that journey. While we are an Invisalign-centric practice, we also recognize the powerful, time-tested results that braces provide for patients of all ages. We’re here to guide you with warmth and expertise every step of the way.
How Braces Help?
Orthodontic braces are a trusted and effective solution for correcting a wide range of dental concerns. By applying gentle, continuous pressure, braces guide your teeth into their ideal positions over time. This not only creates a more beautiful and confident smile but also improves your overall oral health.
Braces can help with many common issues, including:
- Crooked or crowded teeth
- Gaps or spacing between teeth
- Bite problems (malocclusion), such as overbites or underbites
- Jaw alignment issues
Whether for a child, teen, or adult, investing in orthodontic care is an investment in long-term health and self-esteem. It’s never too late to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted!
Stay on Track with WO on the GO Remote Monitoring
Your busy life doesn’t stop for orthodontic treatment—and with our WO on the GO remote monitoring program, it doesn’t have to! While we originally designed this innovative program for our Invisalign patients, we’re excited to extend this convenient technology to our braces patients as well. With WO on the GO, Dr. Wiktorski can monitor your progress between office visits, ensuring your treatment stays on track without requiring you to come in for every check-up. Here’s how it works:
Simple Check-Ins
Using your smartphone or device, you’ll submit photos of your smile and braces at regular intervals.
Expert Monitoring
Dr. Wiktorski reviews your progress remotely and can quickly identify if any adjustments are needed.
Fewer Office Visits
While you’ll still need to come in for important adjustments, remote monitoring can reduce the number of in-person appointments—perfect for busy families, students, and working professionals.
Peace of Mind
If any concerns arise between visits, we’ll catch them early and reach out to you right away.

We’ll gently bond the brackets to your teeth and connect them with an archwire. The process is comfortable, and we’ll be with you every step of the way to answer any questions.
During the Journey
Regular Adjustments
Depending on your treatment needs and how your dream smile is progressing with WO on the Go, in-office appointments may be every 6, 10, or sometimes even 15-20 weeks! These appointments allow Dr. Wiktorski to monitor your progress and make small changes to keep your teeth moving in the right direction.
Embrace The Process
Life with Braces
You’ll quickly adapt to life with braces. While you’ll need to avoid certain hard or sticky foods, you can still enjoy most of your favorite meals. We’ll provide you with all the tips and tools you need for easy cleaning and care.

Revealing Your New Smile
The day your braces come off is a celebration! The average treatment time is about two years, but many patients complete their journey sooner. Afterward, you’ll wear a custom retainer to protect your beautiful new smile for years to come.
